Folk Music Japan: a celebration for Tohoku

The moving, masterful Kimura x Ono DUO, fresh from performing at WOMAD, play imaginative and powerful new and traditional pieces for Tsugaru shamisen and shinobue flute.

DUO are preceded by a set of songs and dance from Tohoku. The ensemble includes Yoshihiro Endo (shakuhachi), Yoshie Campbell (vocal & dance), Hibiki Ichikawa (Tsugaru shamisen) and others.

Audience participation will also be encouraged!

 

[[xx THIS PARAGRAPH CAN BE INCLUDED IF YOU HAVE SPACE:     
All the performers in this concert have close links with the traditions of Tohoku, and are delighted to be able to contribute in a small way via this event. Etsuro Ono of DUO, his wife and young children live near Sendai in the heart of the disaster area, but luckily they suffered only loss of services and shortage of food. Others in the region were not so fortunate.  ]]

 

PLEASE come and support this important event.
